Import Tips

Verify fiber content via lab tests to confirm <85% artificial staple and filament mix, as misdeclaration can lead to reclassification

Provide dyeing process documentation and yarn specs to match 'poplin' statistical notes and avoid duty adjustments

Ensure invoice details weight, weave type, and average yarn number to prevent holds at customs
